a lot of waiting

interviewed with roosevelt's history, art history, & philosphy department today. i'd get my own desk and paper shredder. you don't get sweller than that. the director seemed to like me a lot, so i'm hoping she'll get back to me soon. my second interview is tomorrow at 9:30am with the counseling department. i'm applying to be a peer advocate. i'll only be able to work 17hours in the work study program, but it'll be something to hold me over until i can find another part-time job.

i was just on the blue line for what seemed like hours. we stopped at the 2 stops before division and sat there for nearly 30mins each time while orange vested cta workers kept sprinting back and forth along the cars. the intercom kept shouting for passengers to stay on the train. it wouldn't have been so bad if the thing wasn't packed to the breaking point. there was this smarmy old man with stinky breath leaning over me and i kept catching him staring down my shirt in the reflection in the window. the young guy sitting next to me was clutching his laptop for dear life and kept scooting over each time he relaxed his leg and our thighs touched. i felt like i had cooties.

it's looking like i'm going to get an imac on saturday and this makes me very happy.
